Tism - While My Catarrh Gently Weeps lyrics

A cold hard September day, dogs barking across the lake Rocky Raccoon was heard to say "That other Rocky - he's a fake" In the tavern the patrons paused, softly emptied their lagers And waited for what's in store. Here is Rocky's embittered saga "Paul wrote the lyrics first, then the chords Royalties had been settled, it was to be in all the stores Fame, it seemed, all but nestled in my lap I even met John, but only once and briefly Still, there I was in a song all about me, well, chiefly I came back home not two miles from here, told my folks Even the mayor of the town bought my beer Well, you remember. What a day, oh, what a day What excitement when we learnt That Rocky Raccoon was to be on the Double White Album It meant that this town fell into a swoon of self-congralation But then.... you know, do I have to go on? Days after the release, days when we were all just beginning to know the wrong done us It was in those days that I knew what hatred meant Yes, a false Rocky Raccoon, I says, an imposter Rocky Diabolical, hell-sent had pinched my spot, and with it fame and glory And forever more on the Double White, the imposter raccoon with my name, Was to reap the rewards, mine by right" The barmaid flicked the tap, out flowed the lager Meanwhile, back at the ranch - Poncho, disguised as door has had his knob shot off Rocky was nevermore to be seen again 'round those parts And the townsfolk? Well... never forget, Always be the one to hand out the Kool-Aid
